Apple AirPods Max vs Sony WH-1000XM5

>The Apple AirPods Pro's bass accuracy is excellent. Thanks to their closed-back design, they don't have low-bass issues like the [Apple AirPods 1 Truly Wireless and [Apple AirPods 2 Truly Wireless 2019](https://www

However, if there are loud noises in the background, the noise gate in the microphone will make you sound a bit muffled while still letting in some of the noises from your surroundings. My top choice in this call quality category still remains the Sony WH-1000XM5.

But yeah, it's these, the AirPods Max, which are just very, very expensive headphones. In fact, they're double the price of most really good noise can...

In fact, that's very likely. That's one of the ways that they can actually listen to the world around you as your ears would hear it in order to cance...

The earcups create a good seal around your ear which I have had issues with when trying Beats and Bose. The sound quality is amazing, on par with Sony and Bose, very crisp even up to loud volume and these do get loud. In terms of comfort, theyre great. At first, they may seem a bit tight at first but you get used to it after a couple of hours

And so they did an even bigger version of the same thing, sliding design, magnet in the case and everything. And I'm slightly annoyed by the much bigg...

You can search for hours online to find workarounds but half or more of what people suggest doesn’t work. Meanwhile Apple knows all of this and basically gives us the old high hat if we are willing to buy products that compel us to buy only their other products to make them work. Connecting instantly to my iPhone when picked up or put on rather than having to use a typical Bluetooth prompt to accept a connection is not worth enslaving myself just to show aluminum on my ears. I am boxing these up even though they arrived earlier today

First, whereas the headphones still fit like they were brand new, I'd hope for some relief on the hard clamping aspect present in them. When I first wore them, I was finding the clamping done by the headphones very tight and threatening to give me a headache if I wore them too long since it was like a vise on my head. This has lessened slightly over time, but it is still very tight. I don't know of a fix for this outside of constant wear to try and get them to bend a flex to a less tight shape on my dome, but so far they still hurt a bit when wearing them for an extended time

Love how you can customize the ear pads and head pad. Great sound quality, works great with Apple devices and noise cancellation is awesome. The bad part is just the price.

Perhaps some of these issue could be fixed by updates perhaps not. I'm giving this 3 stars mainly for the fact that the price increased and not all of the features are completely flawless. I don't think the price for an upgrade from the XM4's or other headphones in similar price range is worthy. Don't get me wrong, it's great and all, just not worthy as an upgrade

Neutral: - lots of people made a big deal about no power off button and talk about it just “draining battery” unless you put it in the case. I tested this a lot, and it seems Apple is accurate when they say it goes to low power mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. Losing about 1% every couple of hours. Essentially losing 5% when left without a case overnight

The pressure is a little to much on the top of the head and around the ears. I have to adjust the head phones to sit at a slightly different angle every few minutes. Battery life is excellent. I haven't used them long enough in one sitting to actually get them low on battery

I use these headphones for 30-45min/day jogging and walking. However, I have performed the following “routine” to minimize any possible damage. 1) Purchase AppleCare+. This allows customers to request two “accidental-damage” replacements every year for a $29 accident fee each time

Some may not like that they don’t fold down but the case is slim and it should mean better durability in the long run so I have no issues with it at all as far as that goes. My only real complaints are that the wear sensor rarely works, really 1 out of 10 times will the headphones pause when I remove them…I don’t know if it is because of the sensor being set inside the fabric vs. outside like the M4’s, or something else. May be just my unit I suppose
